Abstract: A method and apparatus for implementing self-organization in a wireless local area network ("LAN"). Each LAN is divided into a plurality of cells. Each cell is occupied by a number of nodes and one or more relay points (RPs) for communicating information within and among cells. Two separate channels are provided. The first channel, the control channel, is common to all RPs and accessible by all nodes and is utilized for communication of control information such as signal strengths of the RPs and the operating parameters of the selected RP. The second channel, the data channel, is utilized for normal communications between the selected RP and the node, and is specific to the RP. To initiate the self-organization process, the node identifies relay points in the LAN by acquiring identification information transmitted by the relay points across a common control channel. The node selects one of the relay points for communication with the node, and issues a message over the control channel requesting that the selected relay point transfer operating parameters from the relay point to the node. In response, the operating parameters are conveyed to the node. The operating parameters of the node are conformed to those of the selected relay point so that the node can communicate in the context of the selected relay point over. the data channel unique to the cell, and through the selected relay point to other nodes within the same cell or to the network.

Abstract: Source nodes (103(a)) in a network (101) for translating names into network addresses receive names (N109(i)) and have name caches (111) for translating the names; destination nodes (103(b)) have local name tables (114) containing correspondences between names and the network addresses (107(i)) served by the destination node. There is further a name server (119) accessible to the nodes which contains current correspondences between names and network addresses. A name is translated by first presenting it to the name cache (111) in a source node; if there is no entry for the name in the cache, name cache maintenance code in the source node obtains information about the name from the name server (119); once there is an entry, the name is translated and a call set up message containing the name and the network address is sent to the destination node (103(b)), which checks whether the name and network address are its local name table (114). If they are, the destination node returns a call complete message to the source node. Otherwise, it returns an unknown destination message to the source node. The name cache maintenance code responds to the unknown destination message by invalidating the cache entry and obtaining the correct information from the name server (119).

Abstract: Air quality in a geographic area is monitored through an integrated network (10) of a central site (80) for receiving telemetrically-transmitted air-content data and multiple air-content sensors (20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70) distributed throughout the geographic area. The air-content sensors (20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70) telemetrically-transmit air-content data to the central information receiving site (80). The distributed sensors (20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70) not only monitor air in general but are also located at pollutant emission sites such as industrial exhaust flues (61), vehicle thoroughfares (51) which are generally traveled by exhaust-emitting vehicles, and sites through which gaseous substances regularly flow and are likely to escape. The location which is the source of telemetrically-transmitted air-content data may be identified by encoding the signal (22, 32, 42, 52, 62, 72) transmitted from the source. Telemetric-transmission may be accomplished by satellite (13) link, cellular relay, or radio-transmission.

Abstract: Immunoassay or nucleic acid hybridisation assay for qualitative or quantitative determn. of an analyte in a sample uses the following components: (a) a capture reagent having two binding sites, one of which permits (opt. together with other assay components) specific detection of the analyte and the other of which can be bound to an active solid phase through a specific binding pair (sbp), where one member of the sbp is bound to the capture reagent and the other member is coupled to the active solid phase; (b) an active solid phase, and (c) an inactive solid phase which is the same as the active solid phase except that the capture reagent cannot bind to it. The sample is first contacted with the inactive solid phase and only later contacted with the active solid phase, or the sample is contacted with the active and inactive solid phases simultaneously. The capture reagent and opt. other assay components are either present from the start or are added later, where upon determn. of the analyte takes place. Also claimed is a method for avoiding interference from non-specific binding to the solid phase in an assay as above, comprising incubating the sample in the presence of a first active solid phase, removing the sample from the first phase, and incubating the sample in the presence of the capture reagent (and opt. other assay components) and a second, largely identical, active solid phase.

Abstract: An apparatus for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves has a  transmitter (10) for sending a pair of ultrasonic waves (11,12) to a  sample. The pair of the ultrasonic waves (11,12) have substantially  symmetric waveform with respect to zero sound pressure. One of the  ultrasonic waves is separated from the other ultrasonic waves. An  acoustoelectric, ultrasonic transducer (20) receives the pair of  ultrasonic waves (11,12) affected by the sample. The acoustoelectric,  ultrasonic transducer (20) converts the pair of ultrasonic waves (11,12)  into a pair of electric signals (26,28) accompanied by phonon-charge  carrier interaction. Each of the electric signals (26,28) includes an  acoustoelectric signal insensitive to phase and a piezoelectric signal  sensitive to phase. A processing device (30) processes the pair  of electric signals (26,28) so as to remove the piezoelectric signal  and obtain the acoustoelectric signal. The initial ultrasonic  waves (11,12) have opposite phase so that superimposition of the  pair of electric signals (26,28) by the processing device (30) offsets  the piezoelectric signals, thereby obtaining the acoustoelectric signals.
